A guy I've been exchanging e-mails and messages with for several months (only online) wrote 'enough about me. Let's talk about you'.
What's a good reply to that?

Steph, just start telling him what you like and don't like, your goals in life, etc. but just one at time.
Your reply:
Ok. What would you like to know?
That's what I wrote. For some reason he hasn't replied.Quote:

Just to add, in time before meeting this person like what you asked on your other post, make sure you've seen this person on cam, know his HOME address (and can send stuff on it), home phone (not just cellphone) number that you can call anytime and spoke any one from his family. If for how many months you haven't moved yet from e-mailing... stop it. Other than that, he sounds realistic by saying "He wants to be friends, first (after meeting you)". How's your boyfriend living in with your parents?
What do you mean?Quote:

Maybe go to another city and start a new career there. Ive had 3 jobs and have been offered 4. My first job I started at 13 years of age but it was a one month traineeship and I didn't make it.. but meh. I don't really have much to say besides the fact that its cold.
Don't go into personal details..
You wrote here asking advice because your family is against your live-in BF.Quote:

Off topic, but is he local? How come you have only been communicating over email for several months now?
Well after several months you should be way past asking about each other?? You should on a regular basis have been telling him the same info you were asking
Because we live in different cities, really far away from each other.Quote:

no need to make the question complicated.
so you live in different cities far from each other and talk online.
what does he know about you? What do you talk about? Is it just small talk about random things? Deeper discussions? In what context (flirting, casual, friendly, naughty, strait-laced)? You posted this under the "dating" subject... are you "online dating"?
have you any desire to meet him? Does he have any desire to meet you? Has he seen your picture? And on and on and on...
unless we have some clue about what "exchanging e-mails and messages with for several months" means, its kind of hard to give advice other than tell him things he doesn't already know. There are people I've talked to online fairly regularly for longer than that that know very little about me personally... so being in contact can mean a lot of different things.
all you know is he directed the discussion your way. Whether he was tired of talking about himself or he was just curious about you, we can't know.
